"People now believe that instead of just surfing the web, users should contribute as much content as they consume. The results are blogs and Wikis. This is fundamentally different from simply using a web-based application to sell something, find a job or find a mate. The difference is that blogs and Wikis support the distribution of ideas and innovations."

Why the name «B2OB»?

When I started this blog about «Barriers and Opportunities to Organizational Blogging» [Barreiras e Oportunidades Organizacionais ao Blogging] I thought it was to big a name so I've shorted for the numbers of initials, hence one B, two O's and another B.

With time this blog became an information space for playing my way around with social tools and musings about organizational blog use, were the challenge is about changing people's attitudes and making them act socially: sharing, contributing and growing the information ecosystem we are part of.

It was part of my dayly life work in a Government Research Lab. Now I'm on a PhD leave and post infrequently, as you may have noticed.
